Yes I remember march snowstorm. Every1 was flogging me even though I had every bit of evidence to back up my claim that this looks like it will be our best chance for snow. Even Matt5797 backed me up on it 3 days prior to that event.

Where were they flogging you?  It looks like you only registered on this forum in April.  Was it on NashvilleWx.com?

How much snow did you end up with, Cameron?

What do the top 2 snowiest winters in Nashville's history have in common? Cooler than normal summers. In the summer of 1959 June and July averaged 1 degree cooler than the average temperature for the month. However August was Normal with an average temp of 79º. Nashville went on to record 38.5 inches of snow that winter... In the summer of 1950 the June average temperature was one degree cooler than normal at 75º and July was a whopping 4º cooler than average at 76º. August was 5º cooler than normal. Nashville went on to record 33.5 inches of  .

That is interesting information.  Also they both were weak la nina or neutral winters.  1950-51 was a weak La Nina and 1959-60 was a Neutral.  Of course 1950-51 had the Great Appalachian Storm of Thanksgiving Weekend of 1950, and the great Ice Storm of 1951 it is rare to have two well known winter storms documented like that before 1960.   1959-1960 is the snowiest winter in Nashville history. And I believe is also the snowiest winter in my towns history.  All storms occured in 1960 portion of the winter and was a great start of a snowy decade.  March 1960 had a few winter storms/near blizzards. Jan and Feb were also pretty good snow producers.

Do all the winking, smiling and hinting you want BUT WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T JINX US! Otherwise next spring if we get no snow we'll have to resort to "Plan B".

I'll be very interested in seeing what happens.  I'd love a good, cold winter.

Our problem is that we're too close to Al's old home. Look at it; the house is huge. Though a bunch a misleading and lack of evidence I can prove to you all that his house is what has hindered our Tn winters. Funny how he tell us how we should be energy efficient, yet look at his lifestyle I call it the HGA or Hippocratic Gore Affect.

I dont know the exact number but doesn't his house produce more greenhouse gases than about 100 normal American Familes Produce.  Or is it less or more than that.  All those top private flights to Global Warming meetings don't help out the planet either.  Now I agree with the mostly with the "Green Movement" itself to help out our planet.  But not for the sake of the lies and drama of Global Warming, but because it is a good thing to do.  And also because orange smog might not be very healthy.

Another interesting note is 1950-1951 went down as the 2nd snowiest winter at Nashville on Record. Could this mean our winter this year will be cold and snowy.

Wonder if we will have a neutral year.  Which seems to be pretty rare.  Is there any other neutral years besides 1959-60 that is the only one I know of, but there has to be more than that though.

[Snowman]

I am not sure, I will have to look that up. We only recieved 3.0 inches of snow that year though.

The winter of 1959-1960... we only received 3.0 inches of snow??

Can you check that again?

I believe that winter still stands as the snowiest winter on record in Nashville.

Try 38.5 inches.   


(I think you may have gotten the 3.0 inches from the previous winter of 1958-59.)

I can't even imagine what it would be like to get that much snow in a winter.
